A photo posted by Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin led his fiancée, Russian tennis star Maria Kirilenko, to break off their engagement, according to reports on Russia's R-Sport website (note: link is in Russian).

The two had been dating for three years and got engaged in December 2012.

“I have decided to terminate the engagement,” Kirilenko told R-Sport. “I do not want to go into the details. I’ll say one thing: Our relationship is over, but I respect [Alex] as a person and athlete and I sincerely wish him continued athletic success. At this moment, I’m concentrating on getting prepared for my next tournament. Hopefully soon I'll make my fans happy with news not about my personal life, but my sports achievements.”
